I hope they remake it someday, confirm Dante's attitude in the game is due to his loss of purpose, and keep the characters but expand the dialogue and bring the combat to proper modern DMC standards. I think erasing it is also a bad idea, we should elevate it so that it can be loved like the rest.

While DMC 2 is still being negatively received, I feel Lucia was a welcome addition to the series who many fans, including myself, would like to see more of. She's sefless, heroic, and likeable.

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but you've just singlehandedly convinced me that DMC 2 actually has redeeming qualities and artistic merit, and I would like to see a remake of it now.

It's also worth noting that during the time period DMC2 takes place, not only had Dante 'supposedly' killed Vergil for good, but he'd finally achieved what he set out to do years prior, Avenge his mother. Achieving your life's ambition must leave you pretty directionless afterwards. Add this to the fact that Trish had left him and gone solo during this time period as shown in the anime. It makes perfect sense for Dante to feel pretty depressed. I like to think him becoming a pseudo-mentor figure to lucia managed to pull him out of his funk and encouraged him to reconnect with Lady and Trish.

I think dmc2 deserves a remake. There is so much potential especially with how it fits into the current timeline. It'd be a chance for them to actually finish the game and give it depth. The development of dmc2 was rough. We dont even know who the original director is. It really needed better staff and more time in the oven. The setting is really unique compared to the other games with it mostly being gothic and dark cityscapes. I think the RE engine could make it look amazing. Why remake a game thats already perfect when you can give a lackluster game a second chance?

There are things about dmc2 I always liked, and your look into some of the themes gives a nice outline of what the devs may have been trying to do. However, I still think it's a bad game, but that does not mean it has no redeeming qualities. Great video!

Best thing about DMC2: THE KICKASS SOUNDTRACK. This game has some of the best music in the entire series.

Only Muse could rise to the challenge of finding deeper meaning in DMC2. A challenge only Muse posed, but impressive nonetheless lol

I always think Lucia deserve her own DMC spin-off game, just like Lady and Trish also need Also DMC2 have my favorite Dante outfit, and very good creepy atmosphere like Mallet Island in DMC1

Things I love about Devil May Cry 2. Im not starting in one place, going to a new place, then going back to the first place. It started costumes that can all be on one file. Dont have to start all over again. If you put in the Super Mode cheat the drawback was no regenerative health. Started Bloody Palace. Started Chapter Select. Where Devil May Cry 1 started changing devil arms mid game, Devil May Cry 2 started changing guns mid game. Started shooting in two different directions. Could shoot rain like. Created the Majin/Sin Devil Trigger mode.

There's a lot they tried to do including 2 separate campaigns with its own missions. There have been rumors of a DMC2 Remake and if they can solidify their ideas and themes better with the time to work on it; I'd be down to play it. I really need devil arms back though

21:07 so the Red King wears red and has white hair, and the White Queen wears white and has red hair. How oddly poetic.

The free running up and backflip off walls was the best part of the gameplay for me, was so fun for me back in the day especially at the time when all the Matrix hype was going strong. I dunno why they never bothered implementing those mechanics again in any of the newer instalments as it was great!

I'll forever stan DMC2 as the game with the heaviest Soundtrack and best fashion swag in the series 👏😤

Devil May Cry 2 took place after 4 at one point? Yeah, I'm glad they changed that, Dante being depressed after killing his brother in 1 makes perfect sense to me.

Finally a review that doesnt say its shit

I have to admit: I had no idea dmc2 could have so many inspirations. Now I really wish for a remake.

DMC2 haters when they hear the OST: 💃💃💃

i always felt like there had to be more to dmc2 than just the laughable combat and unfinished storytelling, it's great to finally hear some of the positive angles the game had to show for itself

DMC2 is the silent hill of devil may cry games. People just didn´t get it. Amazing video. Very well analyzed. I thought I knew all there is to about DMC2, but it wasn´t even half of it. I dream of a before the nightmare DLC for DMC5 where we actually got to play Lucia and Dante taking down the Balrog on Dumary.

Thank you for doing this game justice. It gets a gross amount of hate to the point of just being snobby. Its asthetics and the story thats told through them are both powerful.

This has certainly given me an a new respect for Devil may cry 2!

There were so many things I appreciated about this game, from Dante's downer and quieter personality after going through what he just experienced with Vergil. The enemy designs aesthetic wise were really amazing and well thought through. They really looked Demonic and otherworldly. I honestly prefer DMC 1 and 2's enemy designs to DMC 3's(despite DMC 3 enemies working better in gameplay) Also, the gothic style was toned down from DMC 3 onwards in my opinion. You could take almost any level from DMC 2 and it wouldn't be out of place in a horror game. I also like the story, characters, and the little twist at the end with the coin flip still shows Dante is cocky, but true to his character. Finally, I'm glad they kept the theme going on through all these games of "all this crazy sh*t going on, and it's just another Thursday for Dante". This game wasn't the best, but what it did well, it went all out. (PS. DMC 2 might just have the best Dante outfit in my opinion)

I remember having fun with dmc2, I played Dante and Lucia, maybe because I'm Italian but those places, as you showed them, were quite familiar to me and for that reason i was rlly inspired to explore it

dude, i really like dmc 2 either is a bad game but a bad game you can like. is my first dmc game and honestly has the best dante's design . and now as a study of magick arts i see they are more references i never noticed i would like to play this game again just to see this references. thank you for the video

I think DMC2 had a lot of good things going for it! it was the first game to give you very different DT transformations, it gave us a great female character who was also playable and I wish they'd bring her back, and I really like Dante's look in the game. I think what held it back was Capcom being super weird about how they handled sequels to their new IPs at the time. Both DMC and Onimusha got sequels that were completely different from their first games, because they were given to totally different development teams. Not to mention DMC2's original director leaving the project partway through. Its honestly pretty impressive that DMC2 turned out to be any good at all.

Been lookin for this angle; it’s not as bad as everyone says, and you nailed why. With the silent thing busted, there’s nothing left for the haters to say.

Virgil is played by my favorite Power Rangers actor in this game. I loved this redeeming video.

I enjoyed this DMC2 because you know something happened to Dante to make him more serious and less playful as he was once before. Reminds of how we are in life, we are very different when we are older compared to our younger selves. How we change from life and experience. Thanks for the vid, you always put out the best content. 😃

I loved this game as a 10 year old kid. I never considered the possibility of it being bad, I loved the atmosphere and after seeing the Matrix, I was obsessed with being able to run on walls and duel-wield pistols. I always enjoyed it and was surprised to find everyone hates it. I’ll have to give it another go and see how I feel about it now.

great video. nothing can make me like dmc2's gameplay but you really opened my eyes to the storyline of this game. now I wish itsuno would get the chance to go back and flesh out or even finish it. dmc1 and 2 remake collection when?

Sooooo... The Art director of the game did an amazing job but the script writer fuck everything up?

I will say, I think Devil May Cry 2 has the best aesthetics in the series. That's purely subjective of course, but I just can't get enough of its style that's like a cross between an old school anime and the cover art of a metal album. It's so over the top edgy that it actually comes off as very comedic, like you just know someone had a blast drawing everything. It's like an 8th grade boy's notebook doodles were turned into a video game, and I daresay I don't think I've seen any other game quite like it.

I don't think is a completely terrible game, it had cool ideas, it's just not well executed as a devil may cry, but it's a decent PS2 action game

Imo dmc2 gothic designs and aesthetic are my favorite in the series. Dmc3 is my favorite game but visually drab at points.

Really appreciate your efforts in this video. It's nice to see someone actually take some time to look for the good things and the potential this game had. Yes it's no where near the rest of the DMC games but it for sure had some good stuff in it. Just a small comment regarding the video quality is the background music. I felt it was much louder than your voice. so just take it for consideration for your future content.

DMC2 gets a lot of hate, but I actually like it despite its huge flaws. The different areas, the symbolism, Lucia's devil trigger form, depressed Dante with best outfit in the series... amazing. I agree, this game deserves a lot more respect. Also thank you for shading Firion, because he deserves nothing else.

One thing I can add at the top of my head is that not only was Arius the first human antagonist introduced into the series, he was also the most competent. It was revealed that Agnus from DMC4 used to work for the Ouroboros corporation. There has been multiple statements in the DMC lore that Demonic power corrupts humans weather it is in the presence of demons, demonic items like the devil arms etc. Arius was able to harness demonic energy and use it very well. He was able to summon a demon powerful enough to push mid game DMC2 Dante into going devil trigger (That is mostly a power scaling thing that I'm not gonna try to write an essay explaining that here. Plus Arius' company could've provided the world the means to be able to fight demons.

Gosh! The gameplay of DMC2 is such an interesting subject though? Because it's a huge precursor to later games! DMC2 gave us the moves that eventually became the Trickster and Gunslinger style. (Jumping into the air and then shooting your guns downward. Or standing on the ground and shooting each gun in a different direction. Using the spare face button as a dedicated improved dodge roll over the standard lock and and press jump while holding sideways. Running up and along walls for increased mobility.) And DMC2 gave us a powered up Devil Trigger form, with its own special attacks and abilities. Some of which are strangely similar to the Sin Devil Trigger abilities seen in DMCV! I know that all of these abilities are underdeveloped, and the game is badly balanced around them, badly balanced even to the point where many players just did not know that some of these moves even existed in the game! But it's clear that these ideas were the basis for what eventually became core to later games in the series. I don't know if I want to see DMC2 get a remake though. Can it even be remade? Do you keep Dante depressed or make him fun again? What does that mean for the wider fiction? How much can or should the gameplay be revised? Would Dante keep his Majin Devil Trigger? What does THAT mean for the fiction? I changed my mind. I'd love to see a remake of this game, because then that would mean lots of new discussion about where or even if it fits into the series. My favourite theory has always been that DMC2 is an offshoot timeline where Vergil never had a son and never escaped hell, so Dante is completely alone and has nothing left but to go to hell! I'd love to see what would happen to that theory if we got a remake.

Unpopular opinion : Lucia is the woman Dante should be with, not Lady, let alone Trish. What if DMC6 was about Vergil and Dante having a parallel journey of comitting to love with Nero's mother and Lucia ?

I never bought into the hate for this game, the only way I found out about it's quality was due to playing it myself, my conclusion since it's that the game was mostly disappointingly boring gameplay-wise, but as usual with hate bandwagons, people started overreacting towards it's lacking qualities, it also added up the revelation about it's development hell, a common thing I see tbh, when people get to know something is unfinished they seem to always use it as a negative regardless of the final product's quality, like it happened with MGSV, I think it's a shame that the ammount of effort the artistic team put in this game always goes underappreciated

Great video! I was just waiting for a video with a title like this to show up in my recommended feed 😂 I didn't expect you'd cover the topics you did though. Fascinating stuff. I always admire when people are able to find the good in games that are considered bad by the majority, especially to the extent you do in this video. Definitely gonna subscribe. I personally didn't have any fun with DMC2, not least because of the whole game feeling like wasted potential, but regardless this is a really great analysis of DMC2s distinct art style/inspiration... I don't know if this makes it a good game though. If anything it just cements that feeling of wasted potential all the more for me. If the game had the same combat as DMC1, better bosses and enemy AI, that would fix up a lot of the issues for me. I would love to see a return to the art style of the first two DMC, if not a flat out remake of 2.

At least SOMEONE appreciates it.

My favorite part of Devil May Cry 2 was the island itself. It was almost a character of its own, especially when it started to twist and move like it was coming to life.

While DMC2 gets a lot of flak it did bring a lot that were main stays -Bloody Palace -Playable Trish -Early Sin Devil Trigger

Been seeing a lot of videos in recent years defending widely disliked games/movies. Might have to make one myself to vouch for one of my own underappreciated favorites, Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness. Cant say I myself can find much worth liking in dmc2 compared to the rest of the series, but I empathize with the sentiment I guess lol.

Lmao, when I first played DMC2 the combat baffles me so I somehow beat the game with only guns because the melee was weird but I love the soundtrack (especially a song called Shoot The Works)

Wait this makes more sense for the anime what apparently in the middle of the first devil my cry game and the second one also on how depressed (?) he felt in the series in general.🤔

Dmc 2 is like a diamond with a whole lot of mud caked on it. Theres a tiny bit of shimmer in there but its overshadowed by the bad. I truly do hope they remake it and try to fix the story which is the biggest problem in my opinion.

Thank you for making this video. Only few of us love DMC2 despite the rushed development of the game. Honestly i am fed up of people saying this game is a "shoot to win" or "3rd person shooter" and it's designed to only use guns my ass. When i play this game for the first time i have not been forced to use guns all the time. There is sword combos in this game but the game is not mention in the action file. Instead of timing of the button presses like in DMC1 you move the left analog stick during combos like: Dante's Moveset Combo A ➡️🔼🔼🔼 Combo B 🔼🔼🔼🔼 Combo C 🔼🔼🔼➡️🔼🔼 Combo D 🔼🔼➡️🔼🔼🔼🔼 Somersault Kick R1🔼🔼🔼 Somersault Kick Cancel R1🔼🔼⏹🔼🔼⏹🔼🔼 Shoulder Butt (After landing)R1🔼 Here are the movesets i discovered when i play dante's campaign for the first 30min of the game.

This was the first DMC game I ever played. I really didn't know people hated it so much. Such a shame. This will always be my favorite game of the series.

Well thanks to DMC 2 THE WE HAD DMC 3 4 5 WITH STYLISH SYSTEM

It just so happened that I never played DMC 2&3, but was aware of the negativity surrounding part 2. I am currently playing DMC5 and thought about playing 1-3 or just 2&3. This video got me more interested in 2. Thanks for that regardless of how much I end up liking DMC2.

Excellent analysis, and great presentation and narration as well. Along with your other DMC videos, I have to say, this is literally the best content on DMC that I've ever seen. And good on you for choosing to focus on DMC2, because there really is more than meets the eye and the devs deserve credit for all the thought and work they put into the themes and symbolism and references. DMC has a bad rap for being a "dumb" action series, which I have tried in vain to convince people of being otherwise over the years. Your content makes that latter argument much more persuasive, even more so because of your self-control when it comes to overreaching. It really lays bare the fact that, actually, the devs intentionally included these deep themes, symbolism, references and so on, but people only see what they are primed for by their expectations. (I wish Capcom would have continued this trend, but I personally feel that they dropped the ball after DMC3). I tried for years to get that point across, and this is the kind of content that I would have loved to have been able to create back in the day (albeit with more granularity as is my style). You're a DMC fan after my own heart, and it would have been nice to have collaborated with you back when I was in the fandom. In any case, I'm glad I get to relive that old passion vicariously through the fruits of your labor, and keep up the great work.

Devil May Cry 2 has some interesting ideas and themes. Sadly the gameplay and presentation are holding it back. It is, as you said, unfinished. Lucia is by far the best element of this game. I like her human and devil trigger form and I'd love to see her in either a remake (like Resident Evil 2 and 3) or have her back in Devil May Cry 6. Maybe she will even appear in the new animated series. She deserves at least that. Also something I just realized watching your video: Dante has white hair, and red and black clothing; Lucia has red hair, and white and black clothing Since you mentioned the DmC Reboot (in text only), I would be interested to hear your opinion of the Reboot. While I understand why fans disliked the story and the characters in that game, we have to remember that the Dante in that game is essentially a pre-DMC3 Dante (in an alternative universe). The Vergil's Downfall DLC started with Vergil dying from his wound from his fight with Dante, and ends with him being strong enough to kill all his inner demons which in his mind hold him back, and the armies of hell kneeling to him. This DLC really sets up a DmC 2 which in my opinion could have had some elements of DMC3. I still think it's possible for DmC 2 to happen, even with Ninja Theory being part of Microsoft now. I'm sure they wouldn't have an issue with the game even being released on PlayStation. Since multiple games from Microsoft already are on PlayStation and Microsoft even said that they will keep releasing games from the Blizzard acquisition on PlayStation. And I think the DmC and DMC games are different enough for both to co-exist.

As a capitalist, Capcom should remake this game agreed. The music that was there was sick. The atmosphere was great, the enemies had potential. The building fight could've gone better and can be better now that things have advanced. Would pay money for a remake.

I played part of one of these games as a toddler, it was the one with the mannequin spider looking things & those weird gibbety corpse enemies, whichever one that was. It was quite fun.

Incredible work !

I'm gonna go out on a limb about this game. I think the hate is kind of unjustified. Now, before anyone tries to rip me to pieces for saying that, here's why I think the hate comes off as completely unjustified: I'm not saying the game is perfect, no game is, ever, but the way I see it, the hate people seem to have for DMC 2 is basically them saying this: "This is trash because we don't like it. If it's good enough for us, it's good enough for you." I know that sounds so oddly specific, but fanbases can work on some real bullshit logic that just sounds better in their heads. Saying a game is bad because you don't like it isn't good enough, and there are sadly a lot of good, or at least decent games, that fall into that same category a lot. I won't name them here, because that's not the point I'm trying to make. Point is, fanbases have really weird mindsets when it comes to games in franchises that are considered 'black sheeps'. Sometimes, opinions will be too embellished for me to believe them. Edit: Something I forgot to bring up, Dante is a bit more lax and less chipper in the 2008 anime as well, which takes place in between DMCs 1 and 2, so blame that if you don't like how Dante is portrayed in 2.

Subscribed! Loved the video so much. Devil May Cry 2 is one of my favourite games. Thank you for this ♥️

Lucia is in a cannon novel that tells the story leading up to DMC5.

Something I always said was despite my not so fun playthrough of DMC2, I enjoyed a number of aspects to it. I enjoy Dante's look here and I wish Lucia got more love. We often see Trish and Lady and while rightfully so, I would love to see Lucia make a comeback.

Will there be books of the Devil May Cry Games similar to your Silent Hill books?

Dmc 2 was my first DMC game i played and i enjoyed it it made my a fan of the DMC franchise this game gets too much hate nowadays its very underrated as a DMC game i don't care what the haters say I loved this game

Lovely breakdown! You hit every nail directly on the head. I think this game is purposely downplayed just for the fact that it holds the keys to truly understanding the twin concept in the game series and how it connects with time. You have to really dive into mythology and history to say you grasped these games imo. Thanks for this post! Just what I was looking for in reference to the rebis on the pentacle. Also that huge Vergina star with the hermes staff in the center was a very cool clue that the game has deep esoteric meaning.

great vid dissecting the artwork and context. Thank you

Dude, this game made me feel like a badass. Best look for dante in original 3 and i love wall running and big dark city

there's some things to love about this game, but actually playing it bored me endlessly. one of the most unfun experiences I had gaming as a child

I always enjoyed this game and never understood all the hate it received

I actually played 3, 1 and 5 (in that order) before 2 but somehow 2 ended up being my most played. Yes it has its issues but I don't understand the universal passionate hatred this game got.

While your research is fascinating, it's still doesn't excuse the game being terrible. But I admire your research.

This was a great video. On paper, it seems DMC 2 had something going for it, the art and writing team evidently put in genuine effort. The technical side is where the game fell, mostly due to a rushed schedule, and because of that, the art and writing didn't get to be fully realized. It's still a bad game, but it's nice to see that they at least tried with that they had, instead of the rushed cash-grab many think it is.

Well it actually tried stuff such as making dodging easier thus you dont suffer from dumb camera angles, made a sick outfit for dante and and a sweet customizable devil trigger with an additional majin form, it introduced the rebellion for the first time, introduced moves such as double jump, bullet rain and shooting each weapon to different directions, made weapon and gun switching a lot more easier, it also had different sword combos as well(but they forgot to add a tutorial for each of em for whatever reason), wanted try something different by making dante serious just this once so yeah it wasnt really bad when you look at this way. However we cant ignore some facts such as bad story, difficulty being too easy, huge vast areas where you run for a couple minutes doing nothing, fucked up with how op guns were when they actually tried to make him as powerful as how they were cannonically shown in cutscenes, chopper boss fight and stupid minions like tanks and etc. If they fix these problems, maybe remove a couple boss fights, add new enemies, fix the story difficulty and how weapons work ı m pretty sure ıt ll be one heck of a remake just like re4 Edit: when it comes to lucia maybe just like in dmc5 they should give us an option for wheter ee wanna play with dante or lucia on specific missions.

I completely forgot that Arius' company was named Ouroboros. Maybe he and Wesker crossed paths at some point. I mean they're both campy as hell, for one.

very impressive knowledge of mythology and occult symbolism to piece alltogether, very cool. 😄

I remember by experience with DMC2 when it came out! I sold it and played DMC1 again. Years later I tried again and then realized I had missed nothing because it doesn't matter how good the story and subtext is. It's a hack n' slash game. It should be fun to play and not put me to sleep with boring design and somehow even more boring cutscenes. At the end of the day they tried to be edgy without realizing why everyone loved the first game so much. That's why DMC3 is so awesome and kinda set the standard for future titles. They just did the opposite of DMC2.

Thank you for making this. I never would have learned any of this and developed an appreciation for this game's narrative without it.

Your sensibilities are divine, muse. Thanks for this excellent re-evaluation.

Finally someone defense this part of DMC. And it is my FAVORITE! I played all parts and a lot of times! This part has much more improvements from first one than depravations. And here is improvements: - much more quality fighting system. Because you actually always can avoid/dodge attacks. Yes, first one is a bit more difficulty but more unfinished, because it is pretty bad when you cant avoid attacks. In this part it is really worked out good. Yes, because of that it is a bit simplified, but it is high quality. - improvements in movement system. run on walls, dodge in any direction is very good stuff. And guys, the reason why 4th part doesn't have that in Nero is most likely because you reported that dmc 2 is bad, so we loose a lot of good mechanics from that part. This part is really close to souls like games, and it is times of PS2. - devil trigger is much better. You don't waste huge part of it during activation, it is wasted much less when you only walk, and it consumes more on attacks. Also flying system much better, you can change position vertically, what is really good too. and deprevation: - the only one for now I can say, and this is little bit less variation of attacks then in others. But lets be honest, first one has not much more attacks too and everyone loves that part 😁

What boils down to without the features in the mechanics of Devil may cry 2, then we wouldn’t have the fun series of games that we come to know.

Also Muse, Before the Nightmare novel, a prequel before DMCV, mention Dante returning to the island and met Lucia again, even Matier suggesting have Dante make love with her as a reward for waiting.

9:34 like the three Wise men in "Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey" ?

I remember buying the game and taking it back the same day. It was because I beat the game with both characters and was not impressed like how the first was so challenging for my 13-14yr old self

DMC2 is okay. I don’t hate it, but I wouldn’t give it higher than a 7/10 even on a good day. My biggest issue with it is that it’s ultimately pretty boring to play. The story is passable enough I guess. It’s ultimately a meh game with good ideas but bad execution. I’d certainly rather play those other “bad” games over it haha. Well, except for FFII I guess. Regardless of how I feel about it though, it’s always great to hear people talk about why they love stuff. It was definitely a treat to learn about all of this implicit stuff in the game, even if I don’t think it saves the game overall. A remake for this game would definitely be best. I don’t think it should be ultimately forgotten about, even with its issues.

🗡👹🤕"Thank you Thank Thank you"🗡👹😭...I love devil may cry 2 as much as the others

Dmc 2 was my first dmc game and I couldn't say it's bad,....but compared to the rest of the franchise it's definitely a black sheep

Its one of those things that IF it would have came out 1st since 1 is so good

I think Vie de Marli was supposed to be a spelled in french language, while Lucia sounds quite like a spanish name...

Trismagia could also be a reference to Hermes Trismagistus. The founder of hermetic philosophy. Which is the basis for most western occultism along with tantra from the east. Edit: I see you mentioned him as well

Incredible analysis 🔥

This video gives me a new appreciation for DMC2. I still probably won't go back and replay it anytime soon, but I like what's showcased here. Dante's drip in DMC2, however, is unrivaled. The outfit is sick, and the DMC2 erasure means we'll likely never see it again. (Also, Final Fantasy 2 may be a garbage game, but I got to murder the main antagonist by turning him into a frog. That's a win in my book.)

It was my fave DmC tbh. The DT was latest in the timeline. I can see Dante Shaving after the Virgil’s and Nero culminating. Leading into DmC #2 Dante’s Design in 2 has never been better since. Idc.

I've always had a soft spot for dmc2, because it was the game that got me into the series. I remember seeing it in a game informer back in the day and thinking it looked really cool, but I didn't have a ps2 at the time so I never got it. A few years later while buying a used ps2, I saw dmc3 on the shelf, remembered how cool I thought 2 looked and picked it up. Been a fan ever since.

Dude thank you. Devil May Cry 2 is over hated

I think this game gets way too much hate I'm still at the beginning of it but I'm enjoying the combat way more it feels way more fluid to me and I'm actually liking the story so far because it's told in a bit more of a subtle way between both characters that you play as. I feel like it does a lot more show don't tell and it ends up getting people quite lost because they're not really picking up the symbolism or the hidden depth in the story.

Putting two in the middle was perfect.

I just got this game on OLED and graphics are colorful more details idk why I didn't play these games years ago finally bought 2 and im addicted!!!! F the haters it's a very great game and seeing the hair physics of Dante and Lucia and the clothes is amazing!!!! I'm excited to finish this soon then I'll be getting 3 next to try myself!!!!! Forget four and five my brother beat 1 I never did bad copy given to me from a friend but he liked it back in 2011 and now I'm getting into the series!!!!! Dmc 2 kicks ass!!!! In my early thirties and finally giving it a go!!!! I'm hooked and in love!!!! 10 outta ten and is def better then one!!!!! My ex bf had 3 for PS2 back in 2010 watched him play it......I really love 2!!!!!! Very addicting game!!!!!!

I like Dmc 2 and lucia is my favorite character from Dmc

Thank you for being the voice of reason. All of my thoughts really

As someone who didn't listen to my friends and said "shut up I'm sure it's fine" I played it 3 times There is a lot of good here but it is, forgive my crassness, a stillborn game. Playing it is torment.
